Dataset: Collection of nutrient and hydrographic data from the greater Gulf of Maine region for use in driving the associated models (Phytoplankton Blooms project)

This is a database/archive of nutrient and hydrographic data collected in the greater Gulf of Maine region. It is intended to be a 'nutrient' database, however temperature, salinity, and nitrate (reported as either NO3 or NO3+NO2) are included as variables, which may or may not include corresponding silicate or phosphate. Read more about these data from Rebuck et al. (2009).

Data include: month; day; year; decimal longitude; decimal latitude; bottom depth; sample depth; temperature; salinity; NO3+NO2; Si(OH)4; PO4; extracted chlorophyll; and quality flags.
